Verses on a Tyrant,
From an ancient Ode, quoted by the
CHINESE Scholiast on CONFUCIUS[24]
.
How craggy and broken, riseth eminent
that southern mountain!
Its assemblage of cliffs, how vast, and horrid!
Thus formidable for thy power and dignity,
Thou risest eminent, mighty master, royal YU:
And all the people look up to thee with awe and terror;
But not with love; for thou regardest not
theirs,
But thy own interest and welfare.
Its assemblage of cliffs, how vast, and horrid!
Thus formidable for thy power and dignity,
Thou risest eminent, mighty master, royal YU:
And all the people look up to thee with awe and terror;
236
But thy own interest and welfare.
